Collection of your personal information

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you.  Generally, this information is requested when you are registering before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium area of our site, or when purchasing items or donating to 89.7 KSGN.  Personal information collected by KSGN.COM is often limited to e-mail address and name, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

For example, when entering a contest on our Web site we will request personal information necessary for communicating with you, such as: name, address, telephone number, and email address.

When you provide personal information to KSGN.COM we keep this information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site.  KSGN.COM also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software.  This information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses.  This information is used for the operation of the services you access, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of KSGN.COM.

KSGN.COM also collects information about which pages our users visit within KSGN.COM.  This visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number.

Use of your personal information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
  • To deliver services, such as newsletters or events, that you request or purchase.
  • To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.
  • To alert you to special offers, contests and new services from KSGN.com, if you so request.
  • To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site as appropriate.

In some areas of our site we use your personal information to provide personalized content.  We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including: sending electronic and/or postal mail, answering listener questions, completing e-commerce transactions and processing event registration.  We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

89.7 KSGN may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on 89.7 KSGN or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of 89.7 KSGN, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of 89.7 KSGN employees, users of 89.7 KSGN services, or members of the public.

Control of your personal information

When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, KSGN.com will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed.  It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

Security of your personal information

KSGN.com is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.  We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.  For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access.  When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Protection of children's personal information

KSGN.com is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam)

We will never sell or rent your email address to anyone.  We value your privacy.  (We dislike spam as much as you do.)  You may unsubscribe to any email at any time by following the instructions contained within the email message.

Use of cookies

When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the listener's machine (if the listener accepts cookies) or is read if the listener has visited the site previously.  One use of cookies is to assist in the collection of the site visitation statistics described above.

We also use cookies to collect information on which newsletter links are clicked by listeners.  This information is used to ensure we are sending information listeners want to read.

Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to assist in delivering the cookie on our site.  This technology tells us how many listeners clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a KSGN.COM Web page or email message.  This is a tool we use to compile statistics about KSGN.COM Web site and newsletter usage.

If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the KSGN.COM Web site, you may be able to view the text on the screen, however you will not experience a personalized visit nor will you be able to subscribe to the service offerings on the site.
